Science Promises Progress

The increasing interest that scientists and researchers have for the fascinating capabilities of microscopic organisms is invading our everyday life. These organisms invade us, they corrupt us; sometimes, they improve us. Today, viruses are full of dark connotations. They appear to be devastative parasites existing only for the purpose of infection and fatality. However, certain viruses are not so destructive. Not all of them kill. In fact, some of them can make us stronger.

Can I attempt to change our present perceptions of viruses as a necessary step towards accepting the positive potential they have for our society?
